Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) Gird ye on every man his sword.--The formal preparation and the largeness of the force told off for the work showed how terribly David was in earnest, and how bent he was on wiping out the insult of Nabal in blood. From the view we have taken of the transaction above, David's anger is quite to be accounted for, though not to be excused.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAnd Davidדָּוִ֨ד (dā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jessesaidוַיֹּאמֶר֩ (way·yō·mer)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, sayto his men,לַאֲנָשָׁ֜יו (la·’ă·nā·šāw)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male person“Each of you,אִ֣ישׁ (’îš)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personput onחִגְר֣וּ ׀ (ḥiḡ·rū)Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine pluralStrong's 2296: To gird, gird on, gird oneselfyour swords!”חַרְבּ֗וֹ (ḥar·bōw)Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 2719: Drought, a cutting instrument, as a, knife, swordSo Davidדָּוִ֖ד (dā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jesseandגַּם־ (gam-)ConjunctionStrong's 1571: Assemblage, also, even, yea, though, both, andall his menאִ֣ישׁ (’îš)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personput onוַֽיַּחְגְּרוּ֙ (way·yaḥ·gə·rū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 2296: To gird, gird on, gird oneselftheir swords,חַרְבּ֔וֹ (ḥar·bōw)Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 2719: Drought, a cutting instrument, as a, knife, swordand about fourכְּאַרְבַּ֤ע (kə·’ar·ba‘)Preposition-k | Number - feminine singularStrong's 702: Fourhundredמֵאוֹת֙ (mê·’ō·wṯ)Number - feminine pluralStrong's 3967: A hundredmenאִ֔ישׁ (’îš)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personfollowedוַֽיַּעֲל֣וּ ׀ (way·ya·‘ă·lū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 5927: To ascend, in, activelyDavid,דָוִ֗ד (ḏā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jessewhile two hundredוּמָאתַ֖יִם (ū·mā·ṯa·yim)Conjunctive waw | Number - fdStrong's 3967: A hundredstayedיָשְׁב֥וּ (yā·šə·ḇū)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 3427: To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marrywithעַל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstthe supplies.הַכֵּלִֽים׃ (hak·kê·lîm)Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 3627: Something prepared, any apparatusJump to PreviousAbode Baggage David Hundred Stuff Supplies Sword Swords
